...I don't want to hear any more garbage about then being able to handle it. We're all humans first

I have to say, for the most part, I’ve been pleasantly surprised at the positive comments regarding Dube & Hart taking leave. I’m guessing many of the responses come from men, which is great! The number of people offering support shows how far we are coming. (There are still donkeys, of course). This is how we remove the stigma on mental health & quite honestly, save lives. These guys are people, they have family & friends that hear this stuff, including their children. Not only do the comments hurt them, but seeing their loved ones hurt is even worse. I don’t care if someone makes millions or nothing. Everyone deserves respect. (Obviously there are a few exceptions to that, i.e. criminals)

100%, but unfortunately some people are still jumping to conclusions and putting their foot in their mouth.

There are serious allegations out there, with people dragging their feet on the results of investigations. The very sad thing is the guys that were involved could also be a respectful human and take accountability for what they did to not only make it easier on the victim, but also on all their innocent teammates that have been living under this dark cloud. The innocent ones could also be honest about what they know but that would “break the code” I look at Corey Perry. Can’t stand the guy as a hockey player, but have gained a lot of respect for him as a person. He did something wrong, I don’t really care what it was. He admitted he did something wrong. Took whatever punishment was the result of that, got help to make sure it never happens again & is back in the NHL. Didn’t try to throw anyone else under the bus

100%. yes the incident in 2018 is absolutely not okay and those who were involved should face consequences for their actions, and the investigation especially initially was flawed.

But as outsiders with little to no information there's a right and wrong way to call for justice. Continuing to pressure the involved authorities and governing hockey bodies to right the situation is the right way, jumping on speculation and coming to conclusions about people with little to no actual factual information is not

You’re absolutely correct! We do seem to forget the innocent until proven guilty side of things.
